I think it's 2 weeks but I'm not sure. When you see "Trial Member" get replaced by "Honda-Tech Member" you are no longer a trial user. You do not have to pay on honda-tech.

Ah, good ole Money hungry S2ki. They take your cash, then the dam site does nothing but crash. The whole dam site is a scam.

lovely first mods:
1. 4.57 gears maybe w/ comptech diff
2. coilovers to get rid of that 4x4 look and of course help with your first track day dont forget to get an alignment and have it corner weighted and balanced after the coilovers are installed


lata down the road.....
3. AEM EMS and tune that bad boy
4. intake/header/ exhaust w/ test pipe

OEM will always get you the most positive response. It will also insure that you get a perfect fit.

I would suggest starting OEM then selling the parts if you decide to move onto something else.

As mods go. I suggest a driving school first. If your coming from a Prelude like I did it is a different world.
